Obama has eschewed the honorable, apolitical post-presidential path taken by George W. Bush for the gauche, self-serving one he treads now because an old dog can’t learn new tricks.
He routinely poses as unifier, asserts his own moral authority and then proceeds to speak with reckless disregard for the facts to destructive effect.
And no prospective victim of his mendacious brand of politics — not patients, or Jews, or democracy, or the truth — is too sympathetic to dissuade him from continuing to practice it.
